Lionel Messi is an Argentine professional footballer widely regarded as one of the greatest players in the history of the sport. Born on June 24, 1987, in Rosario, Argentina, Messi is renowned for his exceptional dribbling, vision, passing, close ball control, finishing, and playmaking ability. He began his football journey with Newell's Old Boys before joining the youth academy of FC Barcelona, known as La Masia, at the age of 13. Messi made his first-team debut for Barcelona in 2004 and went on to spend 17 seasons with the senior team. During his time at the club, he became Barcelona's all-time leading scorer with 672 goals in official competitions and helped the club win 10 La Liga titles, 7 Copa del Rey titles, and 4 UEFA Champions League titles, among many other domestic and international honors. In 2021, following financial constraints that prevented Barcelona from renewing his contract under La Liga regulations, Messi joined Paris Saint-Germain F.C.. During his two seasons in France, he won two Ligue 1 titles and the Trophée des Champions. In 2023, he signed with Inter Miami CF, where he helped the club win its first major trophy, the 2023 Leagues Cup. Messi has won a record eight Ballon d'Or awards, recognizing him as the world's best player more times than any other footballer. He has also won multiple European Golden Shoes and holds numerous records for goals, assists, and appearances. Internationally, Messi has represented the Argentina national football team since 2005. After several runner-up finishes, he led Argentina to victory in the 2021 Copa América, ending the country's 28-year major trophy drought. He later captained Argentina to victory at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, where he won the Golden Ball as the tournament's best player. In 2022, he also helped Argentina win the 2022 Finalissima, and in 2024, he added another international title by winning the 2024 Copa América. Beyond football, Messi is recognized for his humility, professionalism, and charitable work through the Leo Messi Foundation, which supports access to education, healthcare, and opportunities for vulnerable children.
